We will be in touch
Yes, I've watched Star Wars loads of times, but a grand daughter and a sense of curiosity means I'm about try The Lion King.
🙂
Saw The Wizard of Oz for the first time a few years ago, loved it.
No idea how I managed to avoid it for 45 years.
Only saw 'It's a Wonderful Life' last year too and I keep finding the odd Hitchcock I've missed.
Bit of a film buff, but still not managed to watch Gone With The Wind.
I imagine my inner 10 year old would love them, but I always seem to be working when they reshow the Fast and the Furious films, so I've not caught those either.
You lot?
Blues Brothers. I'm told it's a classic?
Any of the Godfathers. Really CBA with Hollywood's Mafia fascination.
Alien 7
Lots and lots and lots.
Take any list of a hundred top films you should see before you die, I've probably only seen ten.
Human centipede but have been told probably best bet unseen.
Any Godfather film.
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.
Never seen a Terminator film.
Only watched Return of the Jedi a few weeks ago.
Edit: also never watched any Godfather but will do at some point.
Godfathers
Fast and Furious 2-7 as the first was bad enough.
Avatar - in 3D or otherwise. From all I've read and seen of it, including a 3D trailer, I'm pretty glad I've not seen it.
Star Trek reboot films. As a bit of a Trek fan I just can't bring myself to watch them. They seem to be everything opposite of what Star Trek was always about, plus I have no interest in a bunch of kids pretending to be the original cast.
Hobbit parts 2 & 3. Big fan of the book and LOTR book and films. Hobbit part 1 bored me with the battle stuff that doesn't exist in the book and parts 2 & 3 seem to be more of the same.
Kill Bill part 2. I've got it, just can't be bothered to watch it. Was bored with part 1. Used to be such a huge Tarantino fan too. Not watch anything of his after KB.
Likewise, big Scorsese fan back to Mean Streets, but gave up after Casino and especially when DiCaprio became his lead guy.
That said I've given up a lot on modern films anyway. Not much interests me now to spend a couple of hours on when I've got other things to do, and so much of it is remake, reboot and just plain garbage.
Avatar. Just don't fancy it.
Frozen.
Although I've just come downstairs and it appears my wife is watching it..
So I guess this is about to change. 😕
Until 40 mins ago I had never even heard of the work of art that is "Robodog"
My children are watching it right now.
Please help me.

I've only seen 5 of the post 1990 Oscar winners, and 7 pre-1990... And that also includes titanic 😀
Probably ought to watch more - I finally got round to seeing Casablanca a few years ago and enjoyed it.
To the people who haven't seen Godfather: what are you waiting for? Excellent films!
And deadkenny, the first reboot Star Trek film is great fun, not a dull copy or the cast pretending to be the first lot. Well worth it.
I have never seen ET
35 post 90
All But TItanic and the Kings Speech afterwards as I dont want to see them
I've seen all of those from Ben Hur onward. (apart from the Godfarters)
Avatar, any of the hobbits (although I have seen all 3 lotr), any of the Oceans... franchise (either original or modern), Anchorman, the three Star Wars prequels (I've seen the originals and the current one), Trainspotting, Godfather 2 & 3.
I've seen either seven or eight of the Oscar list since 1990. Can't remember if I've seen Braveheart or not. Seen 14 of the pre 1990.
None of the Star Wars follow-ups, prequels, whatever they are. (except the last one which i hated)
None of the Lord of the Rings - cant stand the books, so no desire to see the films.
[i]
Blues Brothers. I'm told it's a classic?[/i]
No, its pretty naff actually.
I have never seen ET
WHAT!?!
Blues Brothers. I'm told it's a classic?
No, its pretty naff actually.
You've got no soul, or [i]soul[/i]
Not a single star wars film, nor ET, nor any hobbit movie. Plus loads more above.
No, its pretty naff actually.
yeah, thought so.
Only seen 9 of those best pictures, and quite a few of those I've only sort of half-watched at xmas or whatever.
Never seen any of the Terminators, any Godfathers, anything in 3D, got a lot of gaps with the important, less mainstream stuff too, never seen Fight Club for example. Can't be arsed with the cinema nowadays, feels expensive for what you get, and you have to sit through 1/2 hour of annoying loud adverts before you even see the film. Last thing I saw was that latest Star Wars effort which was ok, but I only went cos the missus made me go.
Since becoming a dad I have developed a near encyclopaedic knowledge of the likes of Pixar and Dreamworks though (which is fine, I always preferred cartoons anyway).
I have never seen ETWHAT!?!
Now, I have seen ET. It was a bit boring.
Never seen The Jungle Book nor have I seen Schindlers List, or The Beach. All of which are worth a watch apparently.
I hadn't seen Frozen 'til Monday night,since then ive seen 4 times ffs.
"Do you want build a snowman?"
I can't remember if I have seen Memento or not.
BIG films I've not seen (some deliberately, some just not got round to) that spring immediately to mind.
Any of the Godfathers.
Titanic.
Gone with the Wind.
Apocalypse Now.
Schindler's List.
ET.
Raging Bull.
Taxi Driver.
As a sometime Media Studies teacher, this ought to embarrass me, but I'd much rather watch films for enjoyment rather than because I feel I ought to.

"Do you want build a snowman?"
I was forced to sit through this before Christmas, and got it's awful. And I'm a fan of animated films!
no star wars/empire/sci fi type things, no godfathers, only part of 1 james bond film ever (and only out of curiosity cos we visited james bond island just off phuket)
Never seen The Jungle Book
Get that fixed. Immediately.
Deliverance and The Wicker Man are two that spring to mind; I'm sure there's more. Not deliberate avoidance. Watched Scarface only recently.
Oh, and Goodfellas.
I've not seen any Harry Potter films, Lord of the Rings or any of the new Star Wars, i have only seen 3 of that list of Oscar films up there?
I have never seen ET
You've missed nowt. Paul is much better.
It's a kids film!!!
I can't remember if I have seen Memento or not.

[i]You've got no soul, or soul[/i]
I quite like soul music. I think that's partly why I find a film with 2 chubby white Americans who aren't very funny a bit naff.
No Mad Max, Fat and Furios, Die Hard, Kill Bill .. quite a long list of Holywood "blockbusters" really

What has race got to do with it?

POSTED 3 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST
Was a running joke with my wife at the local video store back in the day. 😀

Seriously? Get back in your box.

or The Beach.
Book is miles better.
Star Wars. None of them and you can't make me.
28 Days Later. Although I'm going to Secret Cinema on Saturday so by this tine next week I will have seen it.
Seriously? Get back in your box.
Quiet down now son.
Never seen The Jungle Book
In a way I sort of envy you, as you can discover it afresh 🙂
Broke back mountain, never been a fan of Westerns 😯
Like others I've never seen any Star Wars, at all. Would quite like to, just haven't.
Never seen any LoTR/Hobbit films either.
I've seen all bar 2 of the post-1990 Oscar winners though!
[i]What has race got to do with it?[/i]
Soul is black music. Obvs.
Plus, I'm clearly a racist.
The list of films I've not seen is legendary.
My list of films I must see because I want to, rather than I "must" see because someone else said, is rather sparse at the moment.
Reservoir Dogs
The LoTR films were all a load of overblown pony, saw the first at the cinema I'm amazed I didn't walk, saw bits of the other ones that confirm my initial opinion - haven't seen any of the Hobbit films
Avatar - bobbins
never seen Mad Max, Schindlers List, 12 Angry Men is on the nexflix list
Looking down that list of Oscar films, I've actually seen thirteen of them.
Star Trek reboot films. As a bit of a Trek fan I just can't bring myself to watch them. They seem to be everything opposite of what Star Trek was always about, plus I have no interest in a bunch of kids pretending to be the original cast.
Seeing as how you've never watched the reboot films, how, exactly, do you know what they are with "what Star Trek was always about"?
And as for "a bunch of kids pretending to be the original cast.", they're not, they're actors playing [i]the original characters[/i], and while I'm not entirely certain, I'll bet these 'kids', as you put it, probably aren't far off the age of the actors when they started out at the beginning of Star Trek.
Seriously, do you really think that characters who are fresh out of the training academy, starting out on their first starship, should be played by actors in their [i]sixties[/i]?
If you do, then you really do need to have a quiet talk with yourself. 🙄

12 Angry Men is on the nexflix list
After you watch it track down "12 Angry Men Inside Amy Schumer" it's brilliant.
